‘Transitioning Whidbey’: a film about, erm, Transitioning Whidbey

Here is a rather good film from the good people at Transition Whidbey in the US, letting the world know what they’ve been up to. Fantastic to see places making films like this, do film what you’re doing in this way, document your Transition work for ‘In Transition 2.0′. Thanks to the Whidbey folks for this….

One of the problems with the transition movement in the US is that even if there’s one in your backyard, you don’t know it’s there. Whidbey Island is 25km away, yet I didn’t know that there were any transition movements happening in my state….

Oops. Odd, because I did change it to having an h in before I posted it, must have saved the wrong version. All sorted now though. Bit like the amount of articles I see that refer to ‘Totness’ or ‘Rob Hoskins’, or worse again ‘Bob Hoskins’!

Kristi,

You mentioned not knowing if there’s a transition initiative near you over there in the US. There are googlemaps of initiatives linked on this page (http://transitiontowns.org/TransitionNetwork/Mulling), usually with contact details, so you should be able to find that information out.

Apparently my reading comprehension isn’t very good, because it took me two viewings of the video before I noticed Vicki in the credits as the author of YMOYL. Thank you all for your information and links.

I think it is really excellent that there is an Economic Transition council for Transition US, and that Vicki is a part of it. Whenever I try to imagine what a steady-state economy looks like I think of Your Money Or Your Life, and also Amy Dacyczyn’s Tightwad Gazette series for the consumption side of the ledger.
